On Saturday. the GoGo group Curtis Johnson is performing at the Kennedy Center in Washington. D．C．If you live overseas. going to that show is probably out of the question.
But there is a solution! These and other concerts are available “live” on the Int ernet. Y ou can hear them in real time with an electronic device.
Both performances will be available on the World Wide Web. They are part of a growing number of concerts broadcast on computers, tablets and smart phones. These digital concerts are known as live-streaming.
Technology expert Michael Antonoff says better and less costly equipment is making it easier for performers and theaters to offer music “live”online. The quality of the sound and video pictures are improving all the time, he says. Those online concerts now have as many as 40, 000 viewers per show. People in 100 nations are watching. It is a huge part of our increasing global reach.
For international performers, Kennedy Center officials see a jump in online viewership from the home countries of the performer. There is hometown pride when an artist is performing in one of America’s best-known concerts, says the Kennedy Center’s Garth Ross. At a recent Kennedy Center concert, a performer said he was so happy that his disabled mother back in California could watch his performance.
It is not just music being streamed on the web. On December 10, the producer of musical “ Daddy Long legs” put the show on the web free of charge. It was the first live webcast of a New York musical. Over 150, 000 people
from 135 nations watched, producer Ken Davenport said. In other words, it would take his musical 2.7 years of sold-out performances to draw that many people.

22．（8分）A young man wandered through the desert for forty days until he reached a beautiful castle at the top of a mountain. There lived the sage(圣人) that he was looking for.
With considerable patience, the sage listened attentively to the reason for the boy’s visit, but told him that at that moment he did not have time to explain to him the secret of happiness.
He suggested that the young man take a walk around his palace and come back in two hours’ time. “However, I want to ask you a favor,” he added, banding the boy a teaspoon, in which he poured two drops of oil. “While you walk, carry this spoon and don’t let the oil spill.”
The young man began to climb up and down the palace staircases, always keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. At the end of two hours he returned to the presence of the wise man.
“So,” asked the sage, “did you see the Persian tapestries(挂毯)hanging in my dining room? Did you see the fantastic gar den that the Master of Gardeners spent ten years in creating?”
Embarrassed, the young man admitted that he had seen nothing.
“So, go back and see the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. “You can’t trust a man if you don’t know his house.”
Now more at ease, the young man took the spoon and wandered again through the palace, this time paying attention to all the works of art that hung from the ceilings and walls. He saw the gardens, the mountains all around the palace, and the delicacy of the flowers. Returning to the sage, he reported in detail what he had seen.
“But where are the two drops of oil that I entrusted to you?” asked the Sage.
Looking down at the spoon, the young man realized that he had spilled the oil.
“Well, that is the only advice I have to give you,” said the sage. “The secret of happiness lies in looking at all the wonders of the world and never forgetting the two drops of oil in the spoon.”
1、What was the intention of the young man to travel to look for the sage?
A．To appreciate the most beautiful scenery along the way.
B．To experience adventures of the outside world.
C．To learn the secret of happiness from the wisest man.
D．To figure out whether the sage was knowledgeable or not.
2、Which of the following statements is wrong?
A．The sage listened to the young man with patience.
B．The young man made it as the sage had expected.
C．During his second round of wandering, the young man appreciated the wonders of the castle.
D．The young man was too concerned about the oil when he first went around the castle.
3、Why did the sage ask the young man to go around his castle with a spoon of two drops of oil?
A．Because he wanted to find out whether the young man was perseverant(坚持不懈的)in accomplishing his goals. B．Because he intended to let the young man know that happiness came at a price.
C．Because he wanted to help the young man to uncover the secret of happiness in an indirect way.
D．Because he wanted to let the young man trust him.
4、What can we learn from the story?
A．Real happiness consists in enjoying our rights and meanwhile fulfilling our duties.
B．We can’t trust a man unless we get familiar with his house.
C．The search for the secret of happiness demands our devotion.
D．It’s not easy to keep balance between enjoyment and commitment.

24．（8分）It is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in all areas and at all levels. This is exciting. Y et, on the other hand, competition leads to a pragmatic（实用的）attitude. People choose to learn things that are useful, and do things that are profitable. Today’s college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism（功利主义）.
Many college students choose Business, Law or Computer Programming as their majors convinced that these professions are where big money is. It is not unusual to see college students taking a part-time job as a warm-up for the real battle. I often see my friends taking GRE tests, working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving
tests to get a license. Well, I have nothing against being practical. As the competition in the job market gets more and more severe, students do have reasons to be practical.
However, we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training. Just imagine, if utilitarianism becomes the main trend on campus, leaving no space for the cultivation（培养）of students’ minds, or development of their soul, we will see university is training well-trained spiritless working machines. If utilitarianism controls society, we will see people lost in the money-making adventures, humanity losing its grace and dignity, and that would be disastrous. I’d like to think society as encouraging and people regard profit or fame only as a horse t hat pulls the courage. Yet without the driver picking direction, the courage would go straight and may even end up in a dangerous situation.
A certificate may give you some advantages, but not broad horizons, positive attitudes and personal integrity（诚实正直）, which are the wealth you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way. In today’s world, the highest level of competition may not be that of skills or expertise（专门技能）, but of vision and strategy, and your intellectual quality largely determines how far you can go in your career.
1、The author’s attitude toward today’s college education is .
A．positive B．cautious
C．critical D．doubtful
2、Many college students choose to major in Business because .
A．a businessman is very likely to make big money
B．studying business is less competitive
C．too many students have chosen Computer Programming
D．Computer Programming is not a must for them
3、The author does strongly suggest that .
A．more competition be encouraged on campus
B．people should not ignore the value of broad horizons, positive attitudes and personal integrity
C．intellectual quality determine how far one can go in his/her career
D．college students get as many part-time jobs as possible
4、In the author’s opinion, .
A．college students are not pragmatic enough
B．college students should have drivers pick direction for them
C．college education should provide students with more business courses
D．college education should value the cultivation of students’ minds

I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, 3 children from different races and religions played and studied 4 in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s 5 from Ismail’s.

Even after two 16 we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something 17 to describe.
If we can allow our children to be 18 without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with p eople, regardless of race or religion, who will be 19 their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies build and 20 we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “we happy few, we band of brothers”.
